Travelling with S9 - how do you handle the time zone changes

Post by gpillai » Mon May 05, 2014 6:05 am

I travel often and in my last trip where I was away for 3 weeks, the data uses date and time information from my home time zone. Would this affect the reporting or is there a way to adjust the time zone? Is it even standard practice? Appreciate any advise from those who use their S9 on travels. Thanks.

I never bother trying to keep local. I leave it on my home time zone.

I travel frequently also - never did figure out how to change the timezone on the machine, not sure it can be done. Sleepyhead asks for your timezone in the setup and can be changed in file - edit profile - I would expect it to change all the data and not be something that we can change from week to week. I keep an excel file with my summary data and in there I note what time zone I am in that particular week.

I don't change the time on my S9 AutoSet for DST, I am sure not changing it for every time zone I enter.

Wait a minute, I travel with my old Respironics brick with NO data whatsoever, so it does not matter what time zone I am in nor whether it is DST or not.

Never mind ! ! !

Haven't you heard, time is relative, when you start sleeping time starts at zero and moves forward until you wake up. Time of day means nothing its set by the government. Jim
